Popis: A treatment of fractures of distal metadiaphysis of the humeral bone remains an actual problem of modern traumatology at present time. This is associated with immediate proximity of the radial nerve and risk of iatrogenic injury in external fixation, presence of short distal fragment, comminuted nature of fracture, complexity of treatment method selection, need of extensible approach. Biomechanical features of different fixators were analyzed in consideration of presence of short distal fragment, traumatic of external fixation and risk of iatrogenic injury of the nerve. The authors suggested the method of osteosynthesis of the humerus by using blocking osteosynthesis with preliminary extension of intra-medullary canal of distal fragment for obtaining stable osteosynthesis (priority № 2014105323 from 14.02.2014). The proposed method allowed avoiding the iatrogenic neuropathy of the radial nerve, providing the stability of fixation higher, than in case of external fixation. It excludes the need of external immobilization and combines the period of bony union with the period of rehabilitation and socially integrates the patient in minimal terms.
